"If you own your home and it depreciates it isn't going to kill you, only the speculators who own a few residences will be damaged, no?" It hurts if it is your only real asset and you are young. Trust me I know. You end up being a bit more defensive the rest of your life. Everyone needs to go through it. You learn more from your failures than your successes.

That's what puzzles me about WLS. Why offer to take the firm private? You should be selling stock like there is no tomorrow (which there may not be) not buying it! So far William Lyon's offer to take the firm private pushed the stock price up from $75 to more than $130. But that can't be the plan, because he still ain't selling. So does he believe the housing bubble will last forever? he of all people should know better.
